(Minot, ND) -- Anyone who notices a greater-than-usual number of bomber aircraft flights out of Minot Air Force Base can relax.  

The flights are part of the command's Global Thunder 22, which provides training opportunities for jet pilots to enhance readiness.  

It also ensures a reliable and ready strategic deterrent force with an emphasis on nuclear readiness.
